Academic evaluation
Two independent evaluators grade and comment each application
Evaluators work independently then compare their grades and comments
They use a set of guiding questions to which answers should be provided in the application
Most of these questions can be found in the application form
If their grades differ by more than 20 points they have to discuss and come to a compatible
grading, the appointed lead expert can act as arbitrator if needed
Maximum grade = 50
The final academic grade is the average of the grades given by each evaluators
In principle, only the project proposals which have been given a score of a minimum of
25 points will be considered for the next stage

An application with a good academic grade can receive a very low technical grade
Having a good and relevant idea is not enough
Applications should demonstrate and convince the evaluators that the necessary and appropriate steps
will be taken to translate the idea into concrete results
In principle, projects having received a total rating of at least 50 points are included in the list of
projects recommended for funding.
